At Mallard, Chef Johnson will apply classic and global techniques to the culinary traditions of the south while incorporating the best local and regional ingredients available. Undergirding it all will be a sense of hospitality rooted in Johnson’s memories of the family table.

    It was a beautiful amber ambiance as we entered Mallard. Beautifully done decor, warm reception, terrific service. And what a great menu - not lengthy but just right and every dish we ordered was great. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. What a neighborhood gem - we will return and enthusiastically recommend it.

    The brunch was great - especially the cornmeal pancakes and the full southern breakfast. Great service and a beautiful decor.

    Officially my favorite new spot in Logan Circle. Only thing better than the ambience is the food - the pot roast was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back.

    What a lovely setting! The food was outstanding however the desserts could use improvement. Service was above average and recommend arriving early as it gets crowded and loud. Solid choice for a wonderful dinner!

    Fantastic restaurant in every way- Exceptional service, lovely ambience, went above and beyond for birthday dinner with complementary glasses of champagne, desserts and banana bread. Duck wings and duck dinner is outstanding!! Everything prepared beautifully and quality of ingredients was superb. Not overly priced and truly a gourmet experience. I never ever write reviews but this was just a must after that great of a restaurant. 5 stars!

    The experience was OUTSTANDING! The reception was friendly and efficient, and I had requested a specific area in the restaurant which they met. The appetizers and main courses were phenomenal, our guest from Chicago remarked that the duck main course was the best he’s ever tasted! We (4of us) each ordered different main courses, and we all left our plates clean!!!
